MUSIC VEEJAY
Learn About It! A music
veejay is an announcer who introduces and plays music videos on a TV
program or network. Veejays are responsible for giving commentary,
interviewing guests and announcing music news. While the first
video programs were for rock music, there are now video shows for nearly
every type of popular music, including country and rap.
Think About It! When MTV
exploded on the music scene as the first 24-hour music cable network in
1981, the station hired young veejays, such as Martha Quinn and Mark
Goodman, to give the image to teenage viewers that the station was being
run by the youth of America, not adults. The strategy of creating
the veejays' image as a group of teenagers hanging out listening to
their favorite music worked - within three years, MTV's audience grew to
22 million viewers between the ages of 12 and 34.
Talk About It! How would
preparing for a show as a music veejay differ from preparing for a radio
show?
Do It! Veejays often
interview music stars for their shows. Write down five questions
you would like to ask your favorite musician.
